Clean, affordable, simple, spacious, safe and convenient with plenty of amenities everywhere, such as street food stalls, food-courts, 7-11, cafes, restaurants, hairdresser, etc. Lalai Sap market is just around the corner and makes a very interesting 300-400 meter walk to Chong Nonsi BTS station. Sala Daeng BTS station is 400-500 meter, and is lined with many local as well as international options. Silom is just a great area to be in.

The pool + gym + laundry area at the 4th/5th floor is a great place to be in the midst of the bustling area. The microwave and pantry area in the apartment is a big bonus as I was travelling with my 2 year old and it makes preparing his meals much easier. Just remember to keep the area clean to avoid bugs. The beds are firm and dependable and there is great DVD collection you can check out, but why would you when there are so many things to do outside?

Take note to bring along the map and instructions (in Thai, kindly provided by Jirarot) if you're arriving via taxi, as Bangkok is a huge city and some drivers might not know the directions. And if there's anything that you need throughout your stay, you can get them easily at the 7-11 opposite or the market just around the apartment building.

I did not get to meet Jirarot in person but he's kind and friendly and his feedback is prompt. An overall great experience to my first Airbnb.
